see right there is the problem, we are all here discussing paypal and visa and I know master card just threw their leg through the door....very credible sources have me believe they will all soon start merchandising locally (it will as usual be owned by foreigners:-)) by getting this fiber what we seem to have now is a faster path to a foreign mall (hotmail,yahoo,facebook,cnn etc etc)....we're exporting lots of capital...and time that could be used to develop local solutions...heck we have universities hosting mail abroad..ha! I liked the guy who said we create a generic payment solution that WORKS FOR US.....even a bad one to start with will be fine by me... ....... all our users and radio shows discussing facebook as their 'meeting place' is not the way to go and in this respect I honestly sometimes wish the fiber was delayed by a year or so to see if at least local content picks up before.... and by the way contrary to what everyone thinks, while the bandwidth costs do get to go down, the revenues for most of this ISP's are definately going to take a hit a huge hit.....its time we started opening up new revenue streams .....

An alternative to Paypal is 2checkout. http://www.2checkout.com/ It is just Paypal that refuses payments to Kenya.
For the software payment solution ... Why not create what Kenya really needs. A generic online payment solution. Focusing on just software does not really make sense since there is no actual payment solution at all? _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks Other services @ http://my.co.ke Other lists ------------- Announce: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks-announce Science: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/science kazi: http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/admin/kazi/general
